Re: Mail order guns. A tale of woe.

Agree with the weaponized fish, you ain't shooting that thing until after the new year. Weaponized fish... Classic :) OP, I say you will have it in two weeks - ARs are everywhere these days. Which make/model is slowly coming to u? Dang, thanks to Vash and the Weaponized Fish for that uplifiting pre...

Re: Any 6PPC shooters here?

My mistake. Obviously didn't know you needed to be certified. Thought the labeling and the fee was the issue.

Re: Mail order guns. A tale of woe.

At this point, it's probably better for me to let sleeping dogs lie. Hitting the hornet's next only has the potential to make it so I'm the one who gets stung again. The selling gun shop just called me again and they CAN send me a replacement. However--and there's ALWAYS gotta be a "however&quo...

Re: Any 6PPC shooters here?

I would not think that the Hazmat fee would be an issue for anyone looking for that powder. $35 fee would be nothing considering the relative rarity of the powder. I just paid that same fee to get my hands on 10 pounds of Varget yesterday. That would be $35 + $20 shipping. In my mind, it's a small p...

Re: Mail order guns. A tale of woe.

Wonder if they reported this to the ATF or police? That's a really great question. I just got off the phone with the gun shop that sold me the item. They have assured me that the gun is not registered to me or my name. They just talked to the shipper and asked for a more detailed explanation for wh...

Mail order guns. A tale of woe.

Some weeks ago, I decided to make my first foray into the AR dark side, and I ordered up a nifty AR from a well-known mail order gun dealer. The price was good, the reputation was that they tended to be slow, but very reliable, etc. Finally, on Monday I got notice that after more than a week of my o...

Re: Doctors Asking Parents about gun ownership

To the collective group - why wouldn't you answer the question honestly? My Dr asked me when I asked to have my lead levels checked. It was a very pleasant conversation about the shooting sports. Based on his interest, he may even one day go shooting himself or at least not think of gun owners as w...

Re: Howdy.

Ah, Morris, MN. That was the big city to me, once upon a time. We lived in Cyrus from 1978 to 1983. Miss those days.

Re: Buying A Handgun

In Minnesota you need a Permit to Purchase or a Carry Permit to purchase a handgun or scary black gun. The PTP is good for one year for an unlimited number of guns. Some dealers can (and will) conduct the background check that enables a one-time purchase. That background check takes a varying amount...

Re: Ruger SR22... Send for service or fix it myself?

Send back to Ruger with a very specific description of the problem. Which shouldn't be difficult for them to reproduce given your description. Let them sort it out. There is absolutely no way that this is normal functionality. I could speculate on what's happening here and what might be done to fix ...

Re: Stoeger M3000 24

I too have an M3000 and it is great beater workhorse of a shot gun. But it is not a benelli just to be clear. The action while similar with the revolving bolt it is different (I also have a SBE2). The reason folks think they are the same is that Benelli bought out Stoeger to defend what they percei...

Howdy.

Hi all. Found this forum when doing a search and thought I'd join in. Looks like a great place to hang out, like the discussions already. I'm a lifelong Minnesotan except for two years spent in the United Kingdom, which is every bit as hellish for the shooting sports lover as one would think it woul...

Re: Stoeger M3000 24

I've had a M2000 for 7-8 years now. I use it as a bad weather gun for pheasants and it's my primary gun for shotgunning coyotes. It's been flawless for me. Keep it clean and use it hard. I got mine for $389 on sale, what's not to like? Benelli Inertia action, non-glare coating, easy maintenance and ...
